I love a funky hotel and this is one of them. It's 1920's Europe meets the Old West. Yeah, the rooms are a tad shabby but clean and neat. Love the Alfred Bierstadt prints and the Remington style statues, gilt frames and as someone said, vintage Hollywood feel. Hey, some neat celebs stayed here (Marilyn, Spencer, Mae West!). It even has ghosts!!! The Ghost Bar was closed (damn!) and it looks like they're trying to find someone to take it over. Hope they succeed. It's a cool place. the pool is lovely and relaxing, the maid service is prompt (I had to run back to my room late morning and it was already cleaned), desk staff is very accomodating. It's a quick walk to the convention center and other places. Get your coffee at Cartel Coffee Lab (see my rave review) which is only a couple blocks away. If you don't need "luxury", try this place. I had no complaints at all (well, I didn't see the ghost but I'm actually kind of glad).
